The company was founded on the principle of using latest technology and sophisticated analysis techniques in order to provide our customers with accurate, easy to use instruments at a lower price than has been traditionally associated with these types of measurements.

Our name, Newtons4th

The name Newton (Sir Isaac) is synonymous with a thorough understanding of physical principles from observation of the real world. His well known 3 laws of motion are so simple and clear that they are easily learned and applied, yet they give us the tools to analyze the motion of very complex systems. The number 4 represents innovation, building on what is already established. Newtons4th - innovation based on established fundamental principles.

We’ve combined years of experience in high frequency measurement instrumentation with innovative developments in analog and digital design to produce a new generation of class leading precision power analyzers.

In September 2006, the launch of our PPA2500 series introduced leading power measurement performance in a compact, cost effective instrument that quickly developed a reputation for exceptional accuracy and stability in the most demanding of power applications.

Now, the PPA5500 series extends our power analysis range still further for those who need the ultimate power analysis product.

While maintaining the wide frequency range and exceptional noise rejection for which the PPA2500 has become renowned, the PPA5500 series add increased voltage and current measurement ranges, greater processing power, increased memory, real time clock, high contrast colour display, 1GB non-volatile internal memory and external USB memory port.

In a world where engineers from many different application areas require ever increasing speed, flexibility and measurement accuracy, N4L introduce a new generation of versatile measurement instruments that offer leading performance in every mode without the compromise on accuracy or the additional cost that is commonly associated with such flexible instruments.

Veqtor is a high accuracy phase sensitive multimeter, which incorporates several sophisticated measurement functions under DSP control, including vector analysis, frequency response analysis, LCR analysis and phase measurement. Phase accuracy is better than 0.1° at 100kHz, and 1° at 1MHz; tan of the angle is resolved to 0.0001 – DFT analysis gives excellent results even with distorted signals.

In either 19″ rack or space-saving tower versions and with its wide range of accessories, PSM2201 Veqtor provides the solution to applications with low differential voltage with a common mode voltage up to 500 Vpk.

When used together with the PSM range of frequency response analyzers, N4L impedance analysis interfaces provide a measurement solution to many impedance analysis applications. The most appropriate interface for a specific application will depend upon the nominal impedance of the sample or device being tested and the frequency of measurement and N4L will be happy to discuss the optimum solution to any application.

The Impedance Analysis Interface provides all of the functionality offered by the LCR Active Head but with a wider frequency and impedance measurement range plus higher nominal accuracy. This is achieved by a more sophisticated design that includes an additional internal shunt range, a current amplifier to increase low impedance signal levels and calibration together with the PSM17xx with which it will be used.

The LPA range of Power Amplifiers from N4L provide AC and DC coupled wideband amplification for a wide variety of industrial and laboratory applications. Designed originally for use with N4L Phase Sensitive Multimeters, they can also be used anywhere where there is a need to boost a signal in either voltage or current.

They combine DC accuracy with wide bandwidth to faithfully reproduce complex waveforms, driving loads that may be resistive or reactive.

Reasons to choose an N4L Laboratory Power Amplifier

Unconditionally stable to any load Wideband DC Accurate High performance to cost ratio

What's the difference between 'Quick Quote' and 'Initiate an RFQ'? Quick Quote is great for when you have an urgent requirement that you want a quote for. If you're starting from a company profile or product page on Applegate, the request will just go to this company. If you click the button on a general service page, Applegate's Support Team will suggest up to 10 companies to respond to your request.

'Initiate an RFQ' allows you raise a more structured quotation request that requires a more detailed response from the supplier. You can choose up to 10 suppliers from your favourites to receive the request and, again, you'll also have the opportunity to ask Applegate's Support Team to suggest suppliers that fit well with your requirement.

What's the procedure if I 'Allow Applegate to suggest' suppliers for my RFQ?As soon as the quotation request is saved to our database, a member of Applegate's seven-strong Support Team will be tasked to analyse the requirement and identify the required number of suitable suppliers from the thousands of companies on the Applegate Supplier Network.

We aim to complete each sourcing assignment with one working day and, when complete, the system will email suggested suppliers and alert you that your invitation list has been updated.

The maximum number of suppliers that will ever be invited to respond to an RFQ is 12.

As with all Buyer Tools provisions, this service is completely free of charge.
